Etymology: dabar:The specific name, 'dabar', refers to the type locality, Dabarsko or Dabar Polje. A noun in apposition. Eponymy: The etymology is not explained by Bonaparte, and it may not be an eponym. However, Telestes was the name of the last king of ancient Corinth (748 BC) and of a poet of 5th-century Greece, so the name might refer to one of these. (Ref. 128868), visit book page.
Europe: Vrijeka and Opačica rivers in the Dabarsko Polje of Eastern Herzegovina in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
